Calling graph_from_place("Alaska", network_type="drive") throws GEOSException: TopologyException about osmnx HOT 4 CLOSED

Thanks for using OSMnx. Per the new issue template, 1) ensure you are using the latest release (you are currently have an old version of OSMnx), and 2) ensure you followed the installation instructions (i.e., install with conda instead if you're running into problems), as pip is an unsupported installation option for the reasons stated in the installation instructions.

Looking at your error message, the longitude of "-179.2" also suggests that it could be a problem of wrapping around the antimeridian, which Shapely does not handle well because it uses a Cartesian plane for its geometry work. So assuming the problem persists after you upgrade to the latest version and install it all via conda, the question becomes: what exactly are you trying to analyze with this query? Do you want to study each of the Aleutian islands? Assuming not, it would be more straightforward to use graph_from_polygon with a simple study area polygon on just one side of the antimeridian.

I just had a chance to run it, and your code snippet completes fine on my machine (OSMnx 1.7.1, dedicated conda env, Ubuntu). So try the two things I mentioned in my first comment.

Thank you for making me aware of the guidelines and for the help! Using a custom polygon worked
